Forgive me if there's already a thread on this - I didnt see one. It doesnt look like the Angels are going anywhere this year so it makes sense for them to trade Ohtani, altho maybe they wont. But if they do, who gets him? BA did an article today on the likeliest teams to get him. According to them, those teams are the Dodgers, Orioles, Rangers, Phillies and Reds. This is based mainly on likelihood of winning now and having the prospects to nab him. It makes sense that whoever makes a big play for him thinks they can sign him long-term so personally I dont see how the Reds would get him because they cant afford him. I wonder if my O's would be willing to commit to resigning him. They have the money to do this but would they be willing to spend the necessary amount, which I've heard will be at least $500 mil?
Other teams BA says are candidates: Rays (definitely cant afford him), Padres, Yankees, Giants and DBacks.
